Your Baby in week 15
Your Baby in week 15:
Parents are often amazed by the softness of their
newborn's skin. Your baby’s skin has been
continuously developing, and it is so thin and
translucent that you can see the blood vessels
through it. Hair growth continues on the eyebrows
and the head. Your baby's ears are almost in
position now, although they are still set a
bit low on the head.
Internally, your baby's skeletal system
continues to develop. Muscle development
continues too, and your baby is probably
making lots of movements with his or her
head, mouth, arms, wrists, hands, legs, and feet.
What's going on with You:
Many women say that it isn't until they
trade in their jeans for maternity clothes
and others start noticing their swelling
abdomens that the reality of pregnancy
sets in. For many, this realization is
both joyful and scary. It's normal to
feel as if you're on an emotional roller
coaster (you have your hormones to thank).
Another thing you may be feeling? Scatter
brained. Even the most organized women
report that pregnancy somehow makes
them forgetful, clumsy, and unable to
concentrate. Try to keep the stress in
your life to a minimum and take your
"mental lapses" in stride — they're only temporary.
